Taxpayers Will Be On Hook For Tunnels

Regarding the article "Big Vision: Burying I84, I-91 In City" [Oct. 3, Page 1]: Here we go again with another fiasco, building tunnels though Hartford using federal money.

We didn't learn with CTfastrak -- I would like to know why do I not only see blue buses going through town but I now see the green buses also traveling through town and they are mostly empty. The federal funding to build the busway did not cover all the money needed for the project and neither will any funding received for U.S. Rep. John Larson's grandiose tunnel project cover all that's required. So the state, by which I mean us taxpayers, will wind up paying to complete the project with more and more taxes.

It's time for the politicans to put their big-headed egos aside and do some real thinking and real work.
